J.Crew has become a wardrobe staple since I hit my late twenties. What started as a preppy favorite has transformed under the creative direction of Olympia Gayot into a fresh, modern take on classic Americana. Since Gayot took the reins in 2020, the brand has evolved beautifully, offering stylish yet timeless pieces that appeal to a whole new generation of fashion lovers.
From collaborations with hit TV shows like The Bear to chic collections with CFDA award-winning designer Christopher John Rogers, Gayot has kept J.Crew at the forefront of style, serving up trendy yet accessible designs. If you haven’t explored their offerings yet, now is the perfect time to dive in, especially with an extra 70% off sale styles using code SHOPSALE.
To help you navigate the discounts, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite J.Crew finds, including cozy new sweaters and perfectly tailored pants that will keep you warm and stylish throughout the rest of winter.

J.Crew Cotton Turtleneck Sweater

When I wear this sweater, I feel like I’ve been transported to a small New England coastal town. I dress it down with a pair of straight-leg vintage Levi’s and a pair of tennis shoes. In fact, I’ll probably scoop up a few more colors since it truly goes with everything.

J.Crew Cable-Knit Cardigan Sweater

As mentioned above, my typical uniform is a sweater or cardigan with jeans and simple sneakers. This cable knit cardi takes it up a notch with its gold buttons and relaxed fit perfect for layering under a barn jacket.

J.Crew Collection Portia Pant in Navy Pinstripe Italian Wool Blend

I tried these on IRL and adored them. I wanted a dressier look without giving into a skirt or a winter dress. Now that the pair is a whopping 80% off, I might have to snag them.

J.Crew Small Satin Tote With Crystal Handles in Radiant Ruby

Sometimes a small going-out purse or event clutch doesn’t cut it (nor does it fit an iPhone). This silky satin handbag is the perfect size for toting around town and storing all your date night needs.

J.Crew Wool-Blend Bustier Top

When I say I want a bustier, this is my vision. It’s multifunctional — can be worn alone, styled with an oversized button-up underneath and paired beneath a sheer top. Its cool-yet-polished look makes it one of those forever closet pieces.
$198 $48 at J.Crew
J.Crew Belted Mid-Rise Wide-Leg Jean

These jeans come in a faded black or an off-white wash. Pairing them with a basic white tee or a knit would make an iconic monochromatic look. Luckily, they’re below $50, which is unheard of for a pair of pants.
